Right-wing politics

Eh, millions of people that follow you. What does that mean? I mean, do they go out and Sieg Heil? I mean, come on. I got two kids in their 20s. They don't have anything to do with this guy. They know who he is. I just don't see it as a social problem. Now, maybe it will develop into one, but I doubt it. The problem is exploiting a guy like Fuentes. Now there you get into, Well, if I put him on the show, I'm gonna get high ratings. Most American broadcasters will not do that. They won't. And it's not that they're so noble, it's just that their corporate masters go, No, you're not putting that guy on. Now, I'm an independent, right? I won't put him on because I don't want to insult my audience.

So were all of the 7/7 bombers. It takes more than a piece of paper to make somebody British.

Even after decades of mass immigration from the Global South, the red team has remained overwhelmingly white. Trump's voters in 2024 were 84 percent white, according to the comprehensive AP VoteCast survey of 120,000 voters. That's not much more diverse than Mitt Romney's 88 percent in 2012. Romney, you may remember, was hammered in the media for not winning minorities.

Taft's critique centered on a bedrock legal principle: ex post facto law. The charges brought at Nuremberg-particularly "crimes against peace" and "conspiracy to wage aggressive war"-were not established crimes under international law when the defendants allegedly committed them. The tribunal represented victor's justice dressed in legal robes, establishing retroactive criminality to punish the vanquished. As Taft argued in an October 1946 speech, "The trial of the vanquished by the victors cannot be impartial no matter how it is hedged about with the forms of justice."

Minadeo, who grew up in Marin and Sonoma counties, has spent years promoting antisemitic propaganda through the Goyim Defense League a loose network the Southern Poverty Law Center describes as one of the country's most prolific distributors of hate literature. He was previously arrested in Poland for demonstrating outside the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, sentenced to 30 days in a Florida jail on a littering charge after throwing antisemitic flyers onto people's properties, and was banned from Bibb County, Georgia, after a disturbance at a synagogue.

The Charlie Kirk traveling memorial show had its stop in Berkeley Monday night, and one guy hawking Jesus t-shirts got bloodied up in a lone fistfight, though it was otherwise a long night of garden-variety Berkeley rabble-rousing. We raised the alarm last week that the Charlie Kirk homage Turning Point USA Tour was coming to Berkeley Monday night, the last stop on the tour, and the first California stop since Kirk was shot and killed on an Utah college campus in September.

The Supreme Court announced Monday that it would not review a case that could have led it to revisit its 2015 decision Obergefell v. Hodges, which made gay marriage a constitutionally protected right. The appeal was brought by the former county clerk Kim Davis, who was held in contempt of court after she refused to issue marriage licenses to homosexual couples.

Davie, 58, resigned alongside several top BBC officials over accusations that a BBC Panorama documentary misled viewers with an edited speech by president Donald Trump. According to a leaked internal memo, ex-journalist Michael Prescott, while acting as advisor to the BBC's Editorial Guidelines and Standards Board, suggested the edited speech made it seem as though the US president had explicitly encouraged the deadly US capitol insurrection on 6 January 2021.

Recently, New York Times opinion columnist Ross Douthat moderated a debate on the Interesting Times podcast between Helen Andrews and Leah Libresco Sargeant, two conservative critics of modern feminism. The podcast received major blowback, starting with (but not ending with) the fact that the original headline of the conversation was "Did Women Ruin the Workplace?" Quickly, after the predictable backlash hit, the headline was changed to "Did Liberal Feminism Ruin the Workplace?"

Ben Shapiro, the more they talk about Nick Fuentes, the more they raise his profile. Nick Fuentes, if I'm his agent, I would say, Nick, phenomenal. Your number one PR rep this week was Ben Shapiro,' he said. Send them a $10 GoFundMe and congratulate him saying thank you for supporting the cause and raising awareness to who I am.'

A Senate war powers resolution blocking future military activities in Venezuela without congressional approval failed by a vote of 51-49 Thursday evening. Senators Rand Paul (R-KY) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AL) joined Democrats in voting for the resolution, which was introduced by Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA). Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said the resolution would be unconstitutional because it "takes away the ability to decide military matters [from the president] and it resides with us."

After years of drifting ideology giving way to vibes, personality eclipsing principle a question has finally forced itself into view: Who gets to decide what it means to be right-wing? That question snapped into focus when Tucker Carlson chose to host Nick Fuentes, an openly antisemitic, white-supremacist troll. Fuentes is not complicated. He is clear. He is poison. Carlson's interview wasn't journalism; it was a declaration of borderlessness. If platforming is inherently neutral, then even the most explicit hatemongers can be folded into the tent.

The court heard that police evidence included a video recording in which four masked individuals took responsibility for an attack on a mosque in Galway and threatened future attacks against migrant accommodation in Ireland. After clearing the court to view the video, Judge Cody said it showed men with balaclavas standing in front of a tricolour and making what he described as a practice statement after a terror attack.

Young conservatives and MAGA luminaries like Steve Bannon have grown sharply critical of Washington's unbalanced and costly relationship with the Jewish state. In reaction, Israel and its American supporters have sought to shore up the "special relationship" by ostracizing Israel-critical voices. Their latest target: Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, who recently expressed support for Tucker Carlson, MAGA's most prominent critic of Israel.

"We have made history, we have made progress,"

Kevin Roberts, president of The Heritage Foundation | YouTube screenshot Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts - the lead architect of Project 2025, the blueprint for Trump's second presidency - admitted to his organization on Wednesday that he made a mistake in calling neo-Nazi commentator Nick Fuentes a "friend" of Republicans and criticizing those who opposed Fuentes' recent interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson as a "venomous coalition."

The one thing I really couldn't get purchase on from your essay is I never got a sense of whether there were female virtues at all from your piece. If you want to know what I like about women. No, that's not my question. You can ask me. In fact, I invite you to commission from me an entire essay on the subject. What I like about women. My freelance rates are very reasonable. What do you like about women, Helen?

On October 30, Newsmax - the TV network for people who think Fox News is too liberal, basically - aired an AI-generated video purportedly showing a woman raging at a supermarket cashier, threatening to walk out with her haul of groceries without paying because "they cut her food stamps." The video is fake. And it's the same one that the actual Fox presented as genuine in an article it ran to drum up outrage over the perceived abuses of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program,

On one side: a rowdy and ascendant coalition of ultra-nationalists, populists, and Gen-Zers who are clamoring for an end to US support of Israel. On the other: the neoconservative, Zionist old guard who are increasingly marginalized and on the defense. As the clash rattles the MAGA coalition at its highest levels, one man stands at the center, enjoying the mayhem: Nick Fuentes, the 27-year-old white nationalist streamer whose moment has finally arrived.

Last week, MAGA had a total anti-Indian meltdown on social media, revealing a deep, ugly racism toward South Asians. It comes amid the first real rebellion about rampant and increasingly open antisemitism within the MAGAverse, creating a massive rift between traditional conservatives and a younger, rabidly anti-Jewish contingent called groypers whose leader, Nick Fuentes, recently posted that he is "team Hitler."

On Tuesday, District Judge Sam Goozee found Robinson not guilty of failing to comply with the counter-terrorism powers during the incident in Folkestone on 28 July last year. Mr Goozee said: I cannot put out of my mind that it was actually what you stood for and your political beliefs that acted for the principle reason for this stop. He also said that Pc Mitchell Thorogood's decision to stop Robinson was based on a protected characteristic, adding: I cannot convict you.

Surveillance powers granted to the deep state allow the FBI and others to spy on Americans as a method of control. Those worried about a slip into authoritarianism must look past whomever is in the White House at any one time and see what new technology and old laws has allowed us to become. The latest example comes from an FBI document obtained by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA),
